EARTH           ARCHITECTURE      LANDSCAPE           LANDUUM

We are a Mexican landscape digital magazine. Founded by landscape architects, our mission is to be the most important landscape platform in Mexico.

LANDUUM is a tool for designers, urbanists, landscape architects and culture enthusiasts. We load our platform with valuable content that helps us perceive the reality our country is going through and the relation between these issues and the field of landscape. Each edition we chose a theme that functions as our axe to develop content in our 9 magazine sections:

The devastation of our natural and cultural landscape alarms us. Our team believes firmly that through this digital net we can link with each other in order to explore new roads towards creating sustainable environments through “Placemaking”.

“Placemaking” is the motto that inspires the magazine’s soul, same that guides us to publish valuable content that always promote good practices for the environment and open spaces. We stand for landscape development that conserves natural and cultural heritage through sustainable design.
